Sch. 3(10)(1)(a) - Prejudice an ongoing investigation
Topic: Mossman State School - Action John Darbyshire Remediation of Computer Room 86 officer:
Date: 28 September 2015 Accountable Maree Bauer Director:
Fast Facts:
• In 2010, under the Building the Education Revolution (BER) program, Mossman State School received a new Resource Centre.
• At the time, an agreement was reached with the school and the Project Coordinator of the BER program that the vacant ground floor Computer Room of Block B6, would be used for decanting so the school could still operate whilst the new resource Centre was being built.
• Work was carried out on the ground floor classroom to the standard suitable for use. This included the installation of new data and power to the new island bench installed by the school and internal painting of all walls and full internal commercial cleaning of the room, including the carpet.
Current Status:
• In March 2015, Building and Asset Services (BAS) conducted an asbestos audit on the ceiling of the Computer Room, Block B.
• The results of the audit stated that the ceiling was in good condition with a BEMIR rating of 4.
• The issue of audit inspections concerning low density board ceilings and this incident in particular was raised with Michelle Catterall ... Executive Director Customer Relations (BAS) on 13 October 2015 and is currently subject to further discussion. The Department of Education and Training (DET) have requested BAS revise their procedures/process to ensure this type incident does not reoccur.
• A recent visit to the school from the DET Infrastructure Advisor (lA) on 4 September 2015, concluded that holes from the old cable running on the ceiling was visible and determined that this area of the ceiling was not remediated following the installation of new data and power cabling and computer benches in 2010.
• The ceiling surface was in poor condition with paint flaking in a number of areas. Fallen paint flakes may have contained asbestos fibres that may have contributed to positive results being found in the Computer room.
• Furthermore, hangers for the ceiling fans penetrated through the Low Density Board (LOB) ceiling. These edges- were not sealed leaving a raw sheet edge. This was real concern as the vibration movement of a fan may cause the release of friable fibres from the raw edge of the sheet to be circulated throughout the classroom via the ceiling fans. (Photos attached- Attachment 1 ).
Key Issues:
• Approximately 4 months ago 28 new computers were purchased and installed in this room with the older computers distributed to other parts of the school. The distribution of old computers throughout the school has been an ongoing practice since 2010.
• The number of computers identified as at 2 October 2015 for replacement is 7 4 in total.

Building and Asset Services (BAS) has commissioned Parsons Brinckerhoff to undertake an inspection of Room B6 Block B Mossman State School to determine if a clearance would be able to be issued for the reoccupation of the room, post unsupervised remediation works following an asbestos incident.
An inspection of the Room B6 was undertaken by Don Ross representing Parsons Brinckerhoff on Tuesday 25 August 2015.
Background
BAS were requested by the Mossman State School to assist with the remediation of a possible asbestos incident. BAS engaged WIP Constructions to investigate and make safe. WIP attended site on Friday 21 August 2015 and identified approximately 30 penetrations with unsealed exposed edges in what was believed to be a low density board ceiling. It is understood that WIP wet wiped and vacuumed, using a HEPA filtered vacuum, around the exposed edges of the penetrations and then sealed the exposed edges using a commercial paint product. It is believed that WIP also vacuumed the carpet floor coverings in the room.
Observations
Room B6 appears to be used as a computer training room and has approximately 30 computers in the room.
The room has a fibrous cement ceiling, carpet floor coverings with painted brick wall on three (3) elevations and a fibrous cement partition wall on the other elevation .
There was observed a number of penetrations within the ceiling where it appeared screws for conduit saddles or similar had been pulled from the ceiling. The penetrations had been sealed using a commercial paint product or had been overlaid with tape.
There was visible dust on most horizontal surfaces within the room. There was visible dust evident on a number of the computers and computer keyboards in the room.
Assessment of asbestos contamination
Sample analysis
Parsons Brinckerhoff operates a NAT A registered laboratory for asbestos testing of bulk samples in Queensland. This means that should there be questions regarding the validity of our results, then our testing is legally defensible in a court of law.
Suspected asbestos samples collected during the assessment were analysed using polarised light microscopy in conjunction with dispersion staining techniques. Qualified personnel interpreted the results of all sample analysis.
Surface dust and debris sampling
A total of thirteen (13) samples of dust and debris were collected from within Room 86.
The following table details the results of laboratory analysis of surface dust and debris samples taken.
Table 1.1 Laboratory analysis of the surface dust and debris samples taken
Sample no. Room Sample location Result
P8-155601 86 Top of fan controls, western wall , north-western corner No Asbestos Detected
P8-155602 86 Desktop of whiteboard cupboard, northern end No Asbestos Detected
PB-155613 Top of wall mounted corner shelf under penetrations, south-eastern corner
The results of the laboratory analysis of the surface dust and debris samples indicate the presence of Chrysotile (white asbestos) and Amosite (brown asbestos) in four (4) of the samples collected.
Please refer to the laboratory certificates of analysis located in Attachment A.
Bulk sampling
A sample of the ceiling sheeting in Room 86 was collected for analysis.
The following table details the result of laboratory analysis of bulk sample collected.
Table 1.2 Laboratory analysis of the bulk sample taken
The results of the laboratory analysis of the bulk sample taken revealed the presence of chrysotile (white asbestos) and amosite (brown asbestos), confirming the sheeting to be low density board.
Please refer to the laboratory certificates of analysis located in Attachment A.
Discussion
The extent of any identified asbestos contamination is not uniform within the room as indicated above, with the four (4) of the thirteen (13) samples collected found to contain asbestos fibres. However, given the subjectiveness of swab sampling, the actual positive indication would necessitate the decontamination of the entire room and the furniture and componentry within. However, an unequivocal clearance cannot be given for items such as electrical equipment and carpet floor coverings. The determination on whether such equipment and fittings are retained post further decontamination will be dependent upon the School's and Department of Education and Training's (DET) willingness to accept a low to negligible remaining risk.
Outlined below is a general guide to decontaminating equipmenUfurniture and other items which may have been impacted by asbestos containing materials.
Impervious surfaces
Hard surface furnishings such as desks, plastic chairs, smooth leather surfaces, metals, smooth surface timbers, concrete/vinyl floor surfaces, cemenUplaster based walls and ceilings can generally be easily decontaminated using approved asbestos HEPA filter vacuums and/or wet wiping.
Soft furnishings such as fabric chairs, curtains, carpets etc. that have been contaminated with asbestos debris are more difficult to clean as the asbestos fibres can penetrate the weave of the fabric. In most instances thorough vacuuming of items can remove the majority of fibres, however some minor residues will remain caught amongst the weave. In most circumstances, this remaining residue will be low level and will generally represent a low risk to occupants. That is. the additional risk to health would not be measurable above background exposure.
Electrical equipment
These items can be difficult to clean as asbestos fibres may penetrate small openings within the equipment. Depending on the nature and delicacy of the equipment careful vacuuming with correct attachments can remove the majority of fibres. In most circumstances, this remaining residue will be low level and will generally represent a low to negligible risk to occupants. That is. the additional risk to health would not be measurable above background exposure.
Recommendations
Based on the outcome of Parsons Brinckerhoff's site inspection an unequivocal clearance for re-occupation cannot be provided.
Two options for further decontamination works are recommended, subject to the level of accepted risk.
All work involving asbestos or asbestos associated work should be undertaken in accordance with the legislated requirements set out in Part 8 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 and the How to Safely Remove Asbestos, Code of Practice 2011.
Option 1
If the acceptance of a low to negligible risk is agreeable to the School and DET, Parsons Brinckerhoff would recommend the following actions be undertaken within the office:
1. That furniture, fittings and electrical componentry contained within Room 86 should be thoroughly vacuumed using a vacuum cleaner that complies with the Class H requirements in Australian Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.69 Industrial vacuum cleaners or its equivalent and should conform to the requirements of AS 4260-1997 High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters- Classification, construction and performance or its equivalent. The componentry itself be carefully vaccumed, without any further breakdown, paying particular attention to vents and openings.
2. Following vacuuming, all items should then be wet wiped.
3. That this work should be undertaken when all electrical componentry contained within the server I switch cabinet is de-energised.
4. All remaining horizontal surfaces are similarly decontaminated, including the carpet floor coverings.
If a low to negligible risk is not acceptable to the School and DET, then Parsons 8rinckerhoff would recommend:
1. That the furniture, fittings and electrical componentry contained within Room 86 not able to be fully decontaminated/cleaned, including the carpet floor coverings, should be removed and disposed of as asbestos containing waste, in accordance with Section 4 72 of the regulations.
2. That the remaining furniture, fittings and electrical componentry contained within Room 86 should be thoroughly vacuumed using a vacuum cleaner that complies with the Class H requirements in Australian Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.69 Industrial vacuum cleaners or its equivalent and should conform to the requirements of AS 4260-1997 High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters- Classification, construction and performance or its equivalent.
3. Following vacuuming, all items should then be wet wiped.
4. All remaining horizontal surfaces are similarly decontaminated.
Additional to the options outlined above Parsons 8rinckerhoff would recommend that consideration be given to removing the low density board ceiling and replacing the ceiling with a non-asbestos product.
General requirements
• All works must comply with relevant acts, regulations and industry codes of practice including the Part 8 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011.
• Prior to any asbestos decontamination work and in accordance with Part 8 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 . The following should occur:
• In accordance with Section 455, so far as is reasonably practicable, before entering the affected areas, a procedure is developed that will reduce the risk of exposure of workers and persons in the vicinity of the remediation areas to below the exposure standard.
• That a licensed asbestos removalist, in accordance with Section 458, is engaged to undertake the clean-up and decontamination work.
• A licensed asbestos removalist must give written notice to the regulator before asbestos removal/remediation work commences in accordance with Section 466.
• The licensed asbestos removalist, Section 467 (2) and the persons with management or control of a workplace, Section 468 (3) so far as is reasonably practicable, inform key stakeholders of the removal including anyone occupying premises in the immediate vicinity of the workplace. This must take place prior to the commencement of the removal.
• As per Section 464, a Safe Work Method Statement and Asbestos Removal Control Plan must be written and submitted prior to the commencement of any work for approval.
• Individual removal/remediation work areas must be defined/isolated by the erection of barricades/barriers/hoardings, whichever is applicable. The Asbestos Work Site must be identified by appropriate, approved signage, suitably worded to prevent access by unauthorised personnel to the work area, and/or exclusion zones around or below the work area. Signage must clearly state the need for respiratory protection within the Asbestos Removal Area. All signage must be appropriately and prominently positioned to prevent the entry of unauthorised/unprotected personnel into the work area.
• The licensed asbestos removalist must ensure that all workers who will be working in the Asbestos Removal Area have received adequate training and inductions in relation to the work being conducted. The licensed asbestos removalist appointed Competent Person must remain on site whenever work associated with the removal of asbestos is underway.
• No works or general access, other than to undertake dust suppression and other declared control measures should take place inside the Asbestos Removal Area.
• Prior to leaving the Asbestos Removal Site, all tools and equipment shall be cleaned and washed with water and wet wiped with a damp cloth. Any tools or equipment which cannot be decontaminated and need to be reused for asbestos removal works, need to be double bagged into 200 micron thick designated asbestos waste bags. These items may only be removed from their bags in asbestos removal areas while personnel are wearing their full PPE. Tools that are double bagged and sealed, and 'washed out' through the decontamination unit for use at a later date, must only be used again under similar enclosure conditions.
• Personnel shall decontaminate thoroughly when leaving the asbestos removal area. The personnel decontamination system , incorporated into the site boundary controls for the property, is to be in accordance with the How to Safely Remove Asbestos - Code of Practice 2011 , and therefore incorporate multiple shower systems and wash stations. Full decontamination through a decontamination unit must be carried out whenever leaving the Asbestos Removal Area.
• Before clearance is granted for an asbestos work area to be re-occupied there must be a thorough clearance inspection and air monitoring. The clearance inspection must be conducted by a competent person who is independent from the person responsible for the removal work in accordance with Section 473. Guidance on air monitoring can be found within Section 3.11 of the Workplace Health and Safety Queensland - How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011.
• All waste must be removed from site by a licensed regulated transport provider and disposed of at a licensed landfill , with EHP registered waste tracking documentation to be kept in accordance with Section 472 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011.
No one section of this report, or part thereof, should be taken as giving an overall idea of the results from our analysis. Each section must be read in conjunction with the whole of this report, including its attachments.
We trust this meets your requirements; however should you have any further queries then please don't hesitate to contact myself on (07) 3854 67 44.

• Hayman Island State School (SS) is located at the One & Only Hayman Island Resort (the Resort) on land that is not owned or currently leased by the Department of Education and Training (DET).
• The Services and Supply Agreement (the Agreement) (Attachment 1) between the Resort and DET expired in 2014 and the school building and staff accommodation at Hayman Island now needs to be reviewed.
• Under the expired agreement, costs for maintaining the school's building and grounds were met by the Resort at no cost to DET.
• The expired agreement refers to self-contained accommodation for the Principal. The Resort has advised that this style of accommodation will not be available in a new agreement. Concerns have been raised by the current Principal regarding the hotel style staff accommodation as the only option.
• The previous agreement included an accommodation cost recovery option for the Resort, but DET has never been invoiced for this accommodation, making the school's building and grounds and the associated accommodation a nil cost to DET.
Current Status:
• Four options were put to the Director-General and his preferred option was that the Resort builds accommodation located at the rear of the school with a long term lease to enable the Resort to recoup their investment. !
• The Director-General has requested that Infrastructure Services Branch further explore this option by negotiating with the Resort owners for a more favourable lease arrangement.
• On 13 August 2015, the A/Director REEESHM contacted the Principal (Ro Robertson) at Hayman Island State School and informed him of the current status. The Principal was asked to send through the latest building plans provided by the Resort.
• On 14 August 2015, the A/Director REEESHM contacted Sharon Schimming, Regional Director North Qld and the Office of the Assistant Director General State Schooling to inform them of the decision made by the Director-General.

Building and Asset Services (BAS) has commissioned Parsons Brinckerhoff to undertake an inspection of the to determine if there was a potential contamination issue within the building, post recent renovation works.
An inspection of the Kindergarten was undertaken by Don Ross representing Parsons Brinckerhoff on Thursday 24 September 2015.
Background
BAS were requested by the Department of Education and Training (DET) to assist with determining if a possible asbestos contam ination event had occurred at the .
Observations
is of slab on ground construction, possibly built in the 1970's.
Sheet vinyl floor coverings and suspended ceiling sheeting has recently been removed from within the majority of the building.
There was visible dust on most horizontal surfaces within the areas where floor coverings and ceil ing sheeting had been removed.
Parsons Brinckerhoff operates a NAT A registered laboratory for asbestos testing of bulk samples in Queensland. This means that should there be questions regarding the validity of our results, then our testing is legally defensible in a court of law.
Suspected asbestos samples collected during the assessment were analysed using polarised light microscopy in conjunction with dispersion staining techniques. Qualified personnel interpreted the results of all sample analysis.
Kindergarten sampling
A total of seventeen (17) samples were collected from within the The following table details the results of laboratory analysis of samples taken.
Table 1.1 Laboratory analysis of the samples taken within the Kindergarten

The results of the laboratory analysis of the samples indicate the presence of Chrysotile (white asbestos) in fourteen (14) of the samples collected.
Please refer to the laboratory certificates of analysis located in Attachment A.
Landfill sampling
A total of six (6) samples were collected from materials removed from within the and disposed of into th site. The following table details the results of laboratory analysis of samples taken.

PB155627 Upper Hill Dump Site Tile pattern sheet vinyl floor coverings Vinyl Sheet No Asbestos Detected
There were three distinct areas where it was identified that the asbestos cement ceiling tiles removed from within the have been dumped at the main andfill; these are as follows:-
• Upper hill section that was barricaded off. The debris in this area consists of confirmed asbestos cement ceiling tiles mixed in with non-asbestos containing materials, gyprock ceiling tiles, sheet vinyl floor coverings and orange painted wall sheeting.
• Lower southern section which is isolated and where a poorly wrapped bundle of asbestos cement ceiling tiles are stored. No samples were taken as they were of the same appearance as the ceiling tiles found in the upper hill section.
• Lower northern section (green waste dumping area) has similar building debris as found in the upper hill section. These materials are consistent with materials removed from the Kindergarten. There is a blue and white patterned Tilux sheeting present, slightly away in another pile of trade waste debris that would appear to be generated by other persons. There does not appear to be any evidence of this colour Tilux having being present in any of the areas within the Kindergarten.
Testing of materials removed from within the that have been dumped at the landfill, has shown the ceiling tiles to contain asbestos. These materials have not been sealed and have been dumped as normal waste which is in contravention to the requirements for the disposal of asbestos containing materials.
The How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011 requires that asbestos waste must be disposed of at a licensed asbestos waste disposal site. The disposal process must be in a manner that eliminates the release of airborne asbestos fibres by ensuring:
• bagged asbestos waste is securely packaged in labelled containers
• waste containers are secure during transport
• the method of unloading the waste is according to waste disposal procedures so that tearing of the plastic lining at the landfill site is prevented.
This has not occurred during the disposal of the asbestos cement ceiling tiles removed from within theThe waste appears to be in three distinct areas within the landfill. As such all materials and
waste contained in the these areas should be collected, packaged and disposed of in accordance with the requirements set out in the How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011.
When all materials and waste contained in the these areas has been removed the ground surfaces should be scrapped to a minimum depth of 50 millimetres and all soils collected, packaged and disposed of in accordance with the requirements set out in the How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011.
It is Parsons Brinckerhoff's understanding that the andfill is not registered to receive hazardous waste.
There is evidence of remnant mill board backing present on the concrete floor surfaces throughout the building. The removal of such materials is classified as friable asbestos removal work.
The extent of asbestos dust contamination appears to be uniform within the building and would necessitate the decontamination of the entire building, the furniture and componentry within.
Decontamination
Outlined below is a general guide to decontaminating equipmenUfurniture and other items which may have been impacted by asbestos containing materials.
Impervious surfaces
Hard surface furnishings such as desks, plastic chairs, smooth leather surfaces, metals, smooth surface timbers, concrete/vinyl floor surfaces, cemenUplaster based walls and ceilings can generally be easily decontaminated using approved asbestos HEPA filter vacuums and/or wet wiping.
Permeable surfaces
Soft furnishings such as fabric chairs, curtains, carpets etc. that have been contaminated with asbestos debris are more difficult to clean as the asbestos fibres can penetrate the weave of the fabric. In most instances thorough vacuuming of items can remove the majority of fibres, however some minor residues will remain caught amongst the weave. In most circumstances, this remaining residue will be low level and will generally represent a low risk to occupants. That is. the additional risk to health would not be measurable above background exposure.
Electrical equipment
These items can be difficult to clean as asbestos fibres may penetrate small openings within the equipment. Depending on the nature and delicacy of the equipment careful vacuuming with correct attachments can remove the majority of fibres. In most circumstances, this remaining residue will be low level and will generally represent a low to negligible risk to occupants. That is. the additional risk to health would not be measurable above background exposure.
Noting that an unequivocal clearance cannot be given for electrical equipment and items with permeable surfaces. The determination on whether such equipment and fittings are retained post further decontamination will be dependent upon the Kindergarten and Department of Education and Training's willingness to accept a low to negligible remaining risk.
Recommendations
Kindergarten
Two options for decontamination works are recommended, subject to the level of accepted risk.
All work involving asbestos or asbestos associated work should be undertaken in accordance with the legislated requirements set out in Part 8 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 and the How to Safely Remove Asbestos, Code of Practice 2011.
If the acceptance of a low to negligible risk is agreeable to the Kindergarten and DET, Parsons Brinckerhoff would recommend the following actions be undertaken within the building:
1. That furniture, fittings and electrical componentry contained within the building and the soft fall areas on the verandah should be thoroughly vacuumed using a vacuum cleaner that complies with the Class H requirements in Australian Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.69 Industrial vacuum cleaners or its equivalent and should conform to the requirements of AS 4260-1997 High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtersClassification, construction and performance or its equivalent. The componentry itself be carefully vacuumed, without any further breakdown, paying particular attention to vents and openings.
2. Following vacuuming, all items should then be wet wiped .
3. That this work should be undertaken when all electrical componentry is de-energised.
4. All remaining horizontal surfaces are similarly decontaminated.
5. That the remnant mill board backing present on the concrete floor surfaces be removed. That this be completed by a business that holds a Class A asbestos removal licence and the work area be completely isolated from adjacent areas of the workplace by the erection of a plastic enclosure.
6. That the suspended ceiling frame be either removed and disposed of as asbestos waste or decontaminated in accordance with the requirements set out in the How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011 .
Option 2
If a low to negligible risk is not acceptable to the School and DET, then Parsons Brinckerhoff would recommend:
1. That the furniture, fittings and electrical componentry contained within the Kindergarten, including the soft fall areas on the verandah, not able to be fully decontaminated/cleaned, should be removed and disposed of as asbestos containing waste, in accordance with Section 472 of the regulations.
2. That the remaining furniture, fittings and electrical componentry contained within the Kindergarten should be thoroughly vacuumed using a vacuum cleaner that complies with the Class H requirements in Australian Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.69 Industrial vacuum cleaners or its equivalent and should conform to the requirements of AS 4260-1997 High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtersClassification, construction and performance or its equivalent.
3. Following vacuuming, all items should then be wet wiped .
4. All remaining horizontal surfaces are similarly decontaminated.
5. That the remnant mill board backing present on the concrete floor surfaces be removed. That this be completed by a business that holds a Class A asbestos removal licence and the work area be completely isolated from adjacent areas of the workplace by the erection of a plastic enclosure.
6. That the suspended ceiling frame be either removed and disposed of as asbestos waste or decontaminated in accordance with the requirements set out in the How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011.
Landfill
1. Until such time as the waste can be removed under controlled conditions all existing debris is to be cordoned off and covered to prevent accidental disturbance or disposal.
2. All building waste contained in the three defined areas within the andfill should be collected, packaged and disposed of in accordance with the requirements set out in the How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011.
3. When all materials and waste contained in the these areas has been removed the ground surfaces should be scrapped to a minimum depth of 50 millimetres and all soils collected, packaged and disposed of in accordance with the requirements set out in the How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011.
4. Dust suppression should be included as part of any works likely to generate dust. As such during the above works water sprays should be used to minimise the production of dust. The use of water spray must be monitored carefully to ensure run off does not occur. Any offsite run off risk should be controlled with HEPA filter material.
5. The packaged material is to be transported in a registered regulated waste vehicle to a landfill registered to receive hazardous waste.
6. A further option could be to negotiate with the if they would allow a once off disposal in the Landfill in a purpose dug cell.
All such work should be completed under the technical supervision of an independent licenced asbestos assessor.
General requirements
• All works must comply with relevant acts, regulations and industry codes of practice including the Part 8 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 .
• Prior to any asbestos decontamination work and in accordance with Part 8 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 . The following should occur:
~ In accordance with Section 455, so far as is reasonably practicable, before entering the affected areas, a procedure is developed that will reduce the risk of exposure of workers and persons in the vicinity of the remediation areas to below the exposure standard.
~ That a licensed asbestos removalist, in accordance with Section 458, is engaged to undertake the clean-up and decontamination work.
~ A licensed asbestos removalist must give written notice to the regulator before asbestos removal/remediation work commences in accordance with Section 466.
~ The licensed asbestos removalist, Section 467 (2) and the persons with management or control of a workplace, Section 468 (3) so far as is reasonably practicable, inform key stakeholders of the removal including anyone occupying premises in the immediate vicinity of the workplace. This must take place prior to the commencement of the removal.
~ As per Section 464, a Safe Work Method Statement and Asbestos Removal Control Plan must be written and submitted prior to the commencement of any work for approval.
• Individual removal/remediation work areas must be defined/isolated by the erection of barricades/barriers/hoardings, whichever is applicable. The Asbestos Work Site must be identified by appropriate, approved signage, suitably worded to prevent access by unauthorised personnel to the work area, and/or exclusion zones around or below the work area. Signage must clearly state the need for respiratory protection within the Asbestos Removal Area. All signage must be appropriately and prominently positioned to prevent the entry of unauthorised/unprotected personnel into the work area.
• The licensed asbestos removalist must ensure that all workers who will be working in the Asbestos Removal Area have received adequate training and inductions in relation to the work being conducted. The licensed asbestos removalist appointed Competent Person must remain on site whenever work associated with the removal of asbestos is underway.
• No works or general access, other than to undertake dust suppression and other declared control measures should take place inside the Asbestos Removal Area.
• Prior to leaving the Asbestos Removal Site, all tools and equipment shall be cleaned and washed with water and wet wiped with a damp cloth. Any tools or equipment which cannot be decontaminated and need to be reused for asbestos removal works, need to be double bagged into 200 micron thick designated asbestos waste bags. These items may only be removed from their bags in asbestos removal areas while personnel are wearing their full PPE. Tools that are double bagged and sealed, and 'washed out' through the decontamination unit for use at a later date, must only be used again under similar enclosure conditions.
• Personnel shall decontaminate thoroughly when leaving the asbestos removal area. The personnel decontamination system, incorporated into the site boundary controls for the property, is to be in accordance with the How to Safely Remove Asbestos ode of Practice 2011, and therefore incorporate multiple shower systems and wash stations. Full decontamination through a decontamination unit must be carried out whenever leaving the Asbestos Removal Area.
• Before clearance is granted for an asbestos work area to be re-occupied there must be a thorough clearance inspection and air monitoring. The clearance inspection must be conducted by a competent person who is independent from the person responsible for the removal work in accordance with Section 473. Guidance on air monitoring can be found within Section 3. 11 of the Workplace Health and Safety Queensland - How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2011 .
• All waste must be removed from site by a licensed regulated transport provider and disposed of at a licensed landfill , with EHP registered waste tracking documentation to be kept in accordance with Section 472 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011.
